Nickel commemorative 1 Rupee coin issued for the 2500th anniversary of Buddhism, featuring on the reverse a stylized stupa surrounded by geometric rays that symbolize spiritual diffusion. The obverse shows an elaborate ornamental composition with the value in Sinhala framed by vegetal motifs and accompanied by English legends around the perimeter.

Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
